A Capella Science - Rolling in the Higgs (Adele Parody) The LHC Rap :Understanding Higgs' Boson. Higgs at 3.5 seconds into the melody. Listen to the music… at 3.5 into the recording you will be able to “hear” the sound of the newly discovered boson. That’s the beauty of sonification, a technique that translates dry data into beautiful melodies. Image edit by Katarina Anthony. Sonification is a computational technique that requires enormous amounts of networking and processing power to produce results.
The sonification of data presented on 4 July by the ATLAS collaboration was performed using the pan-European GÉANT network and the Grid infrastructure. The result is a melody that at 3.5 seconds reproduces the bump corresponding to the new particle. Because of its twofold aspect – scientific and artistic – sonification has gained increasing popularity over recent years. In a concert in Rome held this April, a violin, cello and clarinet trio played data coming from the ALICE experiment.

Listen to the Higgs Boson. Who would have thought that the sound of God would tune on a habanera rhythm? Researchers say they have "sonified" the data from the Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, making it possible to "hear" the newly discovered Higgs Boson-like particle, dubbed the "God particle" by Nobel-prize winning physicist Leon Lederman.

On Wednesday July 4, scientists at CERN announced that they had found a Higgs-like particle after analyzing results from the Large Hadron Collider.
Researchers detected a "bump" in their data corresponding to a particle weighing in at 126 gigaelectronvolts (GeV), consistent with the Higgs Boson, which is believed to give mass to all other particles.
